Roger married Gloria on August 28, 1960. They raised two sons Kevin and Keith in Kiron, Iowa. Roger grew up with farming all around him. That is the life that he enjoyed all through the years. He worked for a number of farmers over the years driving truck, hauling grain and gravel and following sprayers around with the water trailer. He also enjoyed livestock. He was employed at the Denison Livestock and Carroll Livestock for years. After his years of working on the farm he still enjoyed driving by and stopping in to see what everyone was up to. He would talk about the good old days up until his final days. As the saying goes you can take the boy out of the country but can't take the country out of the boy.
